5 Ways to have a clean house and a dog…

Lea Schneider of Modern Day Magazine.com says:

My home is a dog-loving household. It’s also one that I like to keep clean. Dog owners totally understand my struggle for a clean house. With four or more furry feet challenging that task daily, I’m very familiar with doggie footprints across my comforter, hair and fur everywhere and kibble that must be carried into another room before being consumed (although I’ve yet to figure out why). It is possible to apply a variety of techniques to help you catch the dirt and debris that comes along with pets and clean effectively when you do.

Lea shared 10 ideas in her article and we will share 5 of those with you here in this post.  Please be sure to check out the original post with the link provided below.  I personally appreciated this article because I vacuum EVERYDAY.  It doesn't matter what is going on I find time to vacuum.  I feel like my day isn't complete unless I do because I feel like I have to stay on top of the dog hair and things that we track in from outside.  Her tips were so helpful to me for sure.

Here are the 5 tips I like the best:

1.  Use an automatic vacuum
2.   Keep stain remover close by
3.   Cover up furniture
4.   Contain the mess
5.   Invest in durable materials
